CoMac commissions new Brick Lane Brewery

After extensive research and a competitive process, Brick Lane Brewing Co appointed Co.Mac S.r.L. as the primary packaging equipment supplier for their new state-of-the-art brewery in Melbourne, Australia.

Brick Lane Brewing was established in 2017 by a group of friends, including industry luminaries, sporting personalities and business people, who chose a greenfield site in Dandenong South as the location for their purpose-built, world class brewing facility.Construction on the site commenced in late 2017 with installation of the bottling and canning line commencing in June 2018.

Prior to sign-off the team at Brick Lane Brewing met with CoMac’s owners Marco Scudeletti and Fabio Donadoni to finalise the specifications of the line.Brick Lane was impressed with the meetings and especially the knowledge and passion that Marco and Fabio brought to the negotiations.

The new brewery consists of a 50HL Braukon brewhouse, ProLeit process control system, CoMac bottle and keg filling machines, and third party equipment all integrated into the CoMac packaging line.

The core CoMac components of the new line are:

Automatic de-palletiser for glass bottles and cans
